Of the Pakistani 'rebel´ players, only Inzamam-ul-Haq, Saqlain Mushtaq, Mushtaq Ahmed and Azhar Mahmood have not yet filed any challenge against the domestic ban.

The legal representative for the six players said they would study the possibility of challenging the international cricket ban on the players as well after the court decided on the domestic ban.

The court has set February 25th as the next date of hearing in the ICL case.

Meanwhile, in another important development, Sports Minister Syed Aftab Shah Jillani said he had discussions with the Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ejaj Butt following 'rebel´ player Mohammad Yousuf's request for government intervention to lift the international cricket ban on the ICL recruits.
